problem on Angular speed

Topic :- Angular speed of EarthThe Earth turns toward the east, we see the sky
turning toward the west at this same rate.Then how to find angular speed for it.Let's look at it.

Question:
"Find the angular speed of the Earth's rotation on it's axis",
Answer:-
The earth rotate once about it's axis in 24 hours

That is 2π radians in 24 hours.

Therefore angular speed =


      2π
    ------  rad/hour
      24

    Lets see how to convert in seconds


       2π
  =  ----------
      24*60*60

  = 7.272*10-5rad/sec

So the angular speed of earth is7.272*10-5rad/sec
.
For similar kind of help ,you can reply me.
